Royal Faction of Albania

The Royal Faction was a conservative political party in Albania that existed from 1928 to 1939. The party supported the establishment of a constitutional monarchy under King Zog I of Albania, but it was not a typical conservative party. Rather than support nationalism, as many other monarchist parties in Europe had, the Royal Faction instead supported very liberal social policies; the party supported religious freedom and cultural diversity, while it also advocated for high military spending and conservative economic policies. The Royal Faction maintained power throughout the existence of the kingdom, and the party retained power until Italy annexed the country in 1939.
